Study Angels
Do you believe in Angels? If you ever ask me privately, my answer could be Yes.
In my previous post I said about one lesson I learned in a magazine called Signs of the Times. The spotlight of this magazine this month is around Angels. After my read, I had been intrigue via the introduction story of a lady named Clara Barton, founder of the American Red Cross who regard herself like a deist.
While supervising a relief effort to the terrible spring flood on the Mississippi River from the deck on the riverboat Mattie Bell, she encountered a stranger just before departure from the river that was jammed with debris and submerged dangers. This stranger was insisting on boarding the Mattie Bell. Clara had little time for sightseers and denied the permission. But by the period she’d sent that order, the boat had pulled away with the unwanted passenger on board.
Sorry but I should stop the tale here. Will be continued in Refer to Angels #2. Need to get the top weight loss supplements to a friend. It’s an exercise machine.
Okay, so the stranger was immediately forgotten, for they were sailing via a tragic scene. The stream was thick with the bloated bodies of livestock, men, women, and children, all floating in the direction of the Gulf of Mexico. Near to sundown, Clara saw the stranger. Darkness fell and the vessel was enveloped in a thick fog that left them navigating the debris-filled river blind. Clara was terrified and in spite of herself, started to pray.
The stranger’s voice interrupted her. “Within moments the steamboat will be in a fatal crevasse,” he said. “The captain is not going to pay attention to me. You must command him to pull back at once!” There was something in regards to stranger’s tone that impressed Clara and she issued the order without delay. The captain anchored on the other side of the river.
At dawn, everyone saw the death they had narrowly fled from. How had the stranger known? Clara asked her staff to look for him in order that they could thank him but “he” is nowhere to be found. Until she died, Clara Barton believed that an angel had saved the Mattie Bell.
In spite of of the long article, I loved the way the story illustrates unseen guardian angels within our lives. Okay, need to go with a buddy to look for prenatal vitamins. So happy for her despite how long we haven’t had the time to meet.
